Hello and greetings to the person who reads the email at the SEC.
It has come to my attention that the SEC is considering a rule that would
prevent many stockholder initiatives from being deliberated and voted upon at
open stockholder meetings. This is an awful idea and I want you to notice
that I oppose it. Please make a little jot in the "no" column.
Anyone who takes the time to track the erosion of accountability of
corporations in this country and the drastic expansion of corporate priviledge
and protections under the law would not be SURPRISED to hear of this latest
nibble against democracy, but no knowledgable citizen could support it.
Thanks for reading the mail, and good day to you.
